Fix Version/s: 2.5.0
Resolution: Fixed
> kafka-streams to configure internal topics message.timestamp.type=CreateTime
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-6614
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6614
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Dmitry Vsekhvalnov
> Assignee: Sophie Blee-Goldman
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: newbie
> Fix For: 2.5.0
>
>
> After fixing KAFKA-4785 all internal topics using built-in
> *RecordMetadataTimestampExtractor* to read timestamps.
> Which doesn't seem to work correctly out of box with kafka brokers configured
> with *log.message.timestamp.type=LogAppendTime* when using custom message
> timestamp extractor.
> Example use-case windowed grouping + aggregation on late data:
> {code:java}
> KTable<Windowed<Tuple>, Long> summaries = in
> .groupBy((key, value) -> ......)
> .windowedBy(TimeWindows.of(TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(1l)))
> .count();{code}
> when processing late events:
> # custom timestamp extractor will pick up timestamp in the past from message
> (let's say hour ago)
> # re-partition topic during grouping phase will be written back to kafka
> using timestamp from (1)
> # kafka broker will ignore provided timestamp in (2) to favor ingestion time
> # streams lib will read re-partitioned topic back with
> RecordMetadataTimestampExtractor
> # and will get ingestion timestamp (3), which usually close to "now"
> # window start/end will be incorrectly set based on "now" instead of
> original timestamp from payload
> Understand there are ways to configure per-topic timestamp type in kafka
> brokers to solve this, but it will be really nice if kafka-streams library
> can take care of it itself.
> To follow "least-surprise" principle. If library relies on timestamp.type
> for topic it manages it should enforce it.
